Paralysis

Paralysis

I've been blog stalking and find that a lot of people start blogs and let them die.  I do NOT want to be one of those people, but I find that I'm in a blogging "funk."  It all started when trying to post Kaylee's graduation speech turned out to be a living nightmare.  (Ok maybe not THAT bad-but blogging was supposed to be something that I did for FUN when I felt like it.  I have a journal and scrapbooks to chronicle the "play by play" scenario of my life and the lives of my family and spending hours trying to upload the speech was NOT fun and NOT what I felt like doing.)  Furthermore, tragedy struck a little over a week ago when my external hard drive where I have ALL my digital photos stored when kaput.  I took it to a "computer guy", but he was less than hopeful at being able to save them. Now most of what I want as far as pics has been printed (since I do keep up scrapbooks), but I feel that I cannot properly service this blog without access to my digital pics.  I have not heard from said "computer guy" and I am afraid to call and ask, so I am paralyzed as far as blogging.  Tomorrow my oldest turns 22, but I feel unable to blog since I cannot add pics of him (unless I scan prints-too much work for a "fun" project.)  So happy birthday Dallin.  Someday, I will blog about you.  (But if it makes you feel better, Analise didn't get a post for her b-day either, even though we all know she is the favorite-gasp-did I say that out loud??? Ask Dallin how he knows this fact: it involves a "fun" ("fun" if you are NOT Dallin) story of  a run through the rain and  mud to catch the bus.)  Anyway, I hope to regain my blogging "mobility" soon, but for now, all you readers (mom) send "good vibes," prayers, or whatever else you think will work my way in hopes that the digital pics can be recovered.

PS I know, I know, I know.....you (I) should have back up storage of all digital pics, and IF they are recovered, I promise to do so immediately.
